Francis Ngannou wants to fight Deontay Wilder after Anthony Joshua

Francis Ngannou is looking ahead to a potential fight with Deontay Wilder, following his upcoming boxing match against Anthony Joshua. This information comes directly from Sky Sports, where details of Ngannou's ambitions were made public.

In a conversation about his boxing career and the challenges it presents, Ngannou stated, “I’m here for the boxing career and there I have a lot of challenges, a lot of names. For example, the top three guys that I’ve always had are Fury, Joshua and Wilder. Wilder better get it together because I’m not done, I want that name on my record.”

At 38 years old, Deontay Wilder is facing scrutiny after his recent upset loss to Joseph Parker in December. Critics are raising questions about his commitment to the sport and whether he will remain a viable contender.

Ngannou himself is coming off a loss in what was his professional boxing debut against Tyson Fury. While he didn't win, he demonstrated formidable potential by dropping Fury during the match. This has increased his credibility within the boxing community.

Looking forward to what lies beyond the Anthony Joshua fight, much will hinge on Ngannou's performance. A strong showing could pave the way for more significant matches down the line.

Recognizing the unpredictable nature of the sport, Ngannou admitted in his conclusion that "the landscape of boxing can quickly change," alluding to both opportunities and uncertainties inherent in boxing careers.
